During my DR/DP episodes, it was about 95% DR (and panic/anxiety) and 5% DP. For me, DP was 100000000x more horrific than the DR, and that was bad enough. Jesus, was it bad. The most evil experience of my fucking life.
Luckily I never really experienced the classic symptoms of self-alienation that comes with DP...no real numbing of emotion, that sort of stuff. I haven't a clue why, but from the fleeting experience I had of DP, it was more than enough. I sometimes tend to think that DP is the final step on the anxeity ladder - kind of like: Event - Anxiety - Panic - DR - DP. On that scale, I only ever got to DR! Lucky me. Perhaps it's because I'm a subborn bastard. I definately distinguished between DR and DP...they were entirely seperate experiences for me. But saying that, other people don't see the difference at all.
